This week I’m speaking with Adam Jacob, founding father of System Initiative and creator of Swamp, about what occurs when AI brokers change the complete form of software program growth. We talk about how he went from an 18-person crew down to 5 and shipped Swamp 900 instances in 4 weeks, why he introduced Consumer Acceptance Testing (UAT) testing again from the 90s, why software program structure (and domain-driven design) all of a sudden issues greater than figuring out the way to write code, the dwell demo the place I pointed Swamp at my Proxmox field and watched it write its personal automation (blew my thoughts!!), and why he’ll by no means settle for a pull request to Swamp, ever.
